Wonderful Story As Usual-More People Have to Know this Author!,
By
This review is from: Till We Meet Again (Paperback)
It is too bad that Lesley Pearse's books are not over here in bookstores that frequently. She is perhaps, the best author I have ever read before out of all the books I've reviewed here. She writes with more depth and meaning than any other author I've known.
In this saga, Till We Meet Again, is written about two women who were best friends as young girls. Their lives parallel one anothers in that they both grew up in VERY dysfunctional homes. For Beth Powell, it was her hateful father who beat on her mother and the kids as they grew up, and they all lived in fear of him. For Susan Wright, it was a life of servitude to first her mother, and then her father. Her brother Martin hated her terribly, and when their father passed away, her dad left the family wealth to Martin, and not her, after all of her slavery. Susan became a very very angry person, especially moreso after getting losing her little daughter to meningitis when no doctor cared enough to care for her promptly. It was at that point when she turned to killing people as a way of fighting back. And for a long time, she wasn't caught until she shot the doctor and secretary at the clinic who she felt responsible for her daughter's death. At that point she was caught, and kept in jail. Beth Powell, who had become a lawyer crossed paths with Susan again 29 years later, and was going to act as her defense lawyer. Their friendship endured, even though the evidence Susan is getting stronger. As the story moves on, Susan reveals more shocking facts about her past, as does Beth. And there will be a happy ending for only one of them.

Moving Tale,

This review is from: Till We Meet Again (Kindle Edition)
I brought this book a long time ago and after many years I finally decided to read it.
And I realized I should have read it much earlier!! I was surprised how well written the story was as I haven't heard of this author before. The characterization of all people involved was brilliant as was the story line. Definitely worth reading if you like authors like Barbara Delinsky, Jodi Picoult and Joy Fielding.
